The Problem with Asia...

I think any admission of geekdom would be superfluous to longtime readers so let's just get to it, shall we?

I have Asia going through my head.

No, not the continent of Asia - despite any accusations of my having an ultra-cavernous cerebrum, it wouldn't fit - sadly, I'm talking about the band, Asia.

Yes, I know.

You see, in high school, (here it comes) I liked Asia. I bought all of their albums. And I'm talking about John Wetton's Asia, not the Asia born later in the (I can't believe I'm saying this) 80's with that wanna be - aaaargh! This is why Tim Murphy and Sean Roberson and Sean Mullin and Tom Brandt (and on and on and on) all thought I was such a nerd. I listened to bands like Asia. (Don't even get me started on Al Stewart; it is far too embarrassing!)

Let it be known that I haven't dipped into any Asia goodness in years but there it is, playing against the wall of my skull like some too-trebly boom box from days gone by... and it's annoying!

... but not bad...
